Today is Wednesday, July 17th, 2013; Karen's Korner #2613

Thanks to Karen's Korner readers who responded to my Monday email surrounding mom's death. Many of you who wrote or called shared similar experiences when you lost a loved one and what happened near the time of his/her death. Isn't it amazing how good and near God is? And how He wants us to know Him better and better?
 
Now a 'Max Lucado' for the morning:
 
CALLED TO MINISTER
 
If you don’t feel called to be a minister and you’re wondering if your life counts for Christ—it does!  And you don’t have to put a collar around your neck, eat at every potluck that comes around, or preach long sermons to prove it!

According to Paul, ministers proclaim the gospel everywhere they go; they testify to God’s work in their lives.When you arrive in heaven, I wonder if Christ might say to you, “I’m so proud you let me use you.  Because of you, others are here today.  Wanna meet’em?”  Neighbors, co-workers, friends, strangers, parents, spouse, children, grandchildren—all step forward!  Even great-grandchildren, ones you never met are there because you ministered to your kids and to your grandchildren.

Are you a minister?  You bet!  Can you make a difference?  Absolutely.

“I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another.”  (Romans 15:14)
